blessedimagesblog:Blessed Danny Devito My favourite anecdote about Micheal D. I heard in a talk given by Pat Rabbitt, the former leader of the Labour Party. This was during the 1970s when the Irish left wing was fractured into factions (perfectly illustrating the Brendan Behan quote the first item on the agenda of any Irish party is the split). Some class of important vote with thin margins within the Labour party was coming up and Michael was missing. When he was looked for, they were told he was in South America fighting to have political prisoners freed. Someone remarked, given the choice between saving the world and saving the Irish Labour Party, Michael D. would always pick the easy option. -- source link
